Set a KPI Goal based on previous dates
I have several KPI Visuals in my report and the value is shown correctly, however I can not set the Goal right. My report is generated according to the dates selected, so if I have selected 2016-07-10 through 2016-07-15 I want the goal to be the same metric from the prevoius 5 days (2016-07-05 - 2016-07-10). For example if the metric value is 65% for 2016-07-10 - 2016-07-15 and 70% for 2016-07-05 - 2016-07-10 the goal would say 5%. I have created two measures for the dates and they are correct. I then created another measure to be the goal for the metric and the code is:
Metric_Goal= CALCULATE([Metric], FILTER(Table, Table[Date]>=[StartDate]), FILTER(Table, Table[Date]<=[EndDate]))
Where StartDate=2016-07-05 and EndDate=2016-07-10, but it's not working because it's giving the same value (65% as the metric value and 65% as the goal).
Can someone help me fix this?

The formula below is for your reference.
Metric_Goal = CALCULATE ( [Metric], DATEADD ( Table[Date], - DATEDIFF ( [StartDate], [EndDate], DAY ), DAY ) )Regards
